CANDLE STAND

The base of this candle stand was a piece left alone for long time from another project I had started but never finished. Even during a general cleaning up, I could not bring myself to throw it away.Eventually I came up with this design. While I was working on it, the idea developed and I decided to add wooden candle with elecrtric flicking light, to normalise the flame.When I chose the log for the candle, another idea stroke my head. I decided to mount the log on the lathe hypotenusely ( pic. 3 )to expose inside the log as much as possible and give the candle waxy appearance, as shown in pic. 2. I understand why I love it so much…well, you are right..the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but I realised the people admire it as much as I do.NOTE: If you wanted to turn a log hypotenusely, work on both ends equally to stabiliise it.
